So long as your PS3 is connected to the internet, just use the PS3's included web browser in the main menu. It can take a while to type in an address one character at a time, but the picture quality is worth it. Plus it has a zoom option you can use without degrading the quality. I won't stream with anything else. Once you get it figured out, maybe just stream something quickly on Hulu. I streamed Joss Whedon's "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog" with Neil Patrick Harris a few weeks ago (hilarious by the way) and the video quality was equal to that of the DVD.
This Sunday I'll miss my first Cowboys game in years since I drop NFL ticket so I could get comcast. I'm hoping I'll be able to find a streaming of it online. It'll give me a chance to test this out. I wish I had a keyboard that work with my PS3.
So where's this big announcement on streaming games? Fool me once.... I'll believe anything when I see it, otherwise it's just a bunch of talk, just like every other rumor and tease about CSNW and the Sat providers getting close to a deal. Hell, DirecTV shitcanned Versus, which is owned and run by Comcast, so I think the likelihood of those two companies bargaining in good faith is about as good as me crapping out a perfect copy of the Mona Lisa into the toilet.
It has a number of usb connections. I believe any old usb keyboard/mouse will work too. I haven't tried it myself however.
I had broadband league pass last year and my only complaint was games that were on nbatv, espn and tnt weren't on league pass broadband. I don't get nbatv and had to find crappy streams for about 11 games that were on nbatv. the cost was $80 if you sign up early, $100 after two weeks into the season and $50 after the all-star break. I would gladly pay $150 to watch all the blazers games in 720p or $80 in 480p via the internet
I did some researdh and from what I read any usb keyboard/mouse should work even wireless ones. I have extension USB cable so I'll be able to reach my PS3 no problem and hopefully it'll recognize my wireless mouse. I must have missed the joke. The Cowboys have been generous this year resulting in two losses. The only good is that each still came down to the final play and each were against teams that are now 4-0. Your next four games are pretty tough so in 4 weeks we'll find out if they are real or not. We have a hopefully easy game at KC. If we lose that one I will start to really worry!! And I hate games like this because Dallas has a habit of playing down to their competition and not getting up for the game.
Oh I was just being an ass.. I dont feel at all that Denver is that good. Better than I originally thought.. but I think they finish at 8-8.
Oh, I missed understood what you said, I thought you meant a joke you had previously made, but you were just stating it was a joke. I need to cut back on the pain pills.
yeah I noticed that too earlier.. I posted if thats what it meant but havent checked to see if it was answered. Dammit that saddens me.
Comcast blocking the Trail Blazers from streaming the CSN games is total bullshit! If they arent gonna step it up and get a deal done with the Dish's, they should at least let people pay a few bucks to watch a game online!
Assuming this report is true (ie, that the Blazers were setting up online streaming of games, and that this was subsequently blocked by Comcast), that is very interesting. I find it hard to believe that the Blazers staff would spend time and energy on a project they had no legal right to pursue without Comcast permission. I find it hard to believe that the Blazers staff didn't know about needed Comcast permission before they started. So, it would seem the Blazers are going through these motions to establish a fact. Why do that? Possible future legal action (or threatened action to force negotion).
The Trail Blazers could still stream the KGW games, so their efforts wouldnt totally be wasted if they go that route.
I wrote Larry Miller asking him pointed questions about this matter. If he writes back, I'll let you know.
Good point. Not totally wasted but far, far less valuable. The games are not nearly as valuable in a partial season package, as they are as a (more or less) complete season. As well, the fans that cannot buy the Comcast games at any price because they are blacked out, aren't helped much by just the KGW feeds, which they already can get. I can't imagine many paying customers. Who would they be?
